The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Haulcy: B. The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: A.J. Haulcy, the No. 66 name on the board, sitting there at the 87th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Zuhn III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In slot 10 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Fair-plus on Sonny Styles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at pick 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86
Rnd3
Max Klare
The board fumbled Max Klare all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 87th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Nice patience on Cade Klubnik, who had no business lasting to No. 110. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
No drama and no debate, DeMonte Capehart went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 226 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
